PearlyPINapple@reddit

The duallydolly is the trick with a single axle dolly the back trailer leads more.

Yes. Mostly skill. But the help is the twin axel dolly.

[-]

Is it easy? Depends who you are but once I figured out how to back one trailer and understood how my input was manipulating said trailer it made learning to back transfers and doubles much easier years later. Still takes plenty of skill and muscle memory and it’s beyond what most of us in the states are doing everyday but it’s doable, that’s why he’s doing it.

[-]

Boattailfmj@reddit

I picked up a brand new tandem fuel tanker and a pup trailer on a dolly from the body builder and delivered it 2000km to my old workplace. First truck stop I attempted backing in between some stuff and gave up. Later that day when I parked it at the hotel backing in blindside in the dark I absolutely nailed it. Didn't pull ahead once. Of course nobody saw that lol

[-]

Uhohlolol@reddit

I do it daily, once you understand the concept of backing doubles it’s just the matter of actually utilizing the concept as much as possible.

[-]

abc_yxz@reddit

Could you pls explain the concept in a nutshell?

[-]

Uhohlolol@reddit

Basically the second trailer (we call it a pup in Canada) goes the same way your steering wheel does as if you’re backing up a regular car.

Your first trailer (lead trailer) backs up just the same your standard 53 footer.

Basically it’s all about small movements, the less movements the better.

If youre trying to back on an arch like this guy, you’d cut it more obviously but once you feel it’s going the way you want it, you correct and then find the sweet spot where nothing is articulating anymore and you hold it.

I notice this set up has a dolly in the middle, so it’s similar to our tri-quad setups in Canada, except it’s got another articulation point.

Same concept applies but things happen a lot quicker.

Long story short the basic concept — pup goes the same way you turn your steering wheel, lead trailer still goes the opposite direction. Find the sweet spot, minor corrections. Play around with it.

It’s harder to explain over text than it would be showing a guy in person

[-]

abc_yxz@reddit

BolognaIsThePassword@reddit

[-]

JankyMark@reddit

Yeah idc what nobody says this takes a lot of skill, but I’m sure ppl in here going act like it’s nothing

[-]

SycoJack@reddit

It's not nothing, but it appears that the dolly is locked in and can't pivot. If the dolly really can't pivot, then this is nowhere near as hard as standard US doubles.

Again, it still takes an impressive amount of skill. But like, the dolly being a third pivot point makes US doubles basically impossible to back.

[-]

AnomalousSquid@reddit

Some of the Mexican outfits use a double tongue dolly that hooks up to dual pintle hooks. It doesn’t pivot like a conventional dolly. Eliminating the front of the dolly as a pivot point makes this sort of shenanigans a whole lot less headache.

With a little practice i think I could ricky Bobby a 3 pack of 53', prolly lots with driving experience also.

[-]

tinkdatank@reddit

Yes sir they are lol

[-]

Eastern_East_96@reddit

I've done this once or twice in Canada with dual 53's. it is a pain in the ASS if you don't know how to properly use the dolly.

Pup doubles are much harder than this, less tires on the pups means the trailers (and dolly) turn significantly quicker. dual 53's with a tandem dolly don't move as easily but still damn quick.

[-]

Prior-Ad-7329@reddit

It’s been a while but I used to practice this in my yard and got pretty good at it. Of course I was using my riding lawnmower with two trailers, but it’s basically the same.

Boattailfmj@reddit

That could actually be harder cause short little trailers are more difficult.

[-]

Prior-Ad-7329@reddit

That’s true.

I’ve always wondered why the U.S. doesn’t use this B-train set up. Our doubles suck compared to this set up. These things you can at least back out of a bad situation.

[-]

Boattailfmj@reddit

I think it's an overall length thing. A few states permit them I believe. Could be weight related too. Pretty sure you are good for 140,000 lbs at least here in Ontario

kakarota@reddit

So true lol my uncle taught me when we lived down in Mexico, he would have me pass trucks with doubles on a 2-way highway. When I tried doing thay here in the us with my trainer years ago, the dude almost had a heart attack 🤣. And ohhh Jesus when we had to go into the produce market in Mexico city I swear those roads where fucking tight. I always tell people who want to get a feel of what it was like back in the 70 or 80s of trucking go down to Mexico. You'll have a great time and ohhh shit moments.and those mountains ain't no joke we would drive with our doors open just in case the truck would tip over.

[-]

SlyFoxInACave@reddit

I know there's doubles that don't use a dolly to connect the two trailers, which removes a pivot point and makes backing two trailers way easier. I think that may be the case here but I'm not sure. With a dolly it's so samn difficult. I can get the tail trailer in a spot if you give me at least 30 minutes. But I can hook up the Lead trailer with a bobtail dolly to the tail trailer in a couple minutes. I love practicing all these wild maneuvers in the yard I work at!

[-]

B_drgnthrn@reddit

Insane levels of respect for this. I know I'd rather drop the pup, go somewhere else and drop the lead, reattach the pup and put the pup away cleanly before reattaching the lead, just because there's too much risk in that for me to wager hitting another trailer to look good. But if you got it, you got it.

Boattailfmj@reddit

And that aint a A train like the video. I have never backed up wiggle wagons on a dolly. Done a single trailer on a dolly behind a straight truck but two trailers and a dolly are next level. I wonder if anyone can back triples at ups? That would be nuts

[-]

D_Moore90@reddit

I have to back truck and trailers behind the wrecker fairly often. It fucking sucks. I'm never this smooth.

[-]

Boattailfmj@reddit

I've done the same, I've also backed super b's. A semi on the under reach is easier in my opinion because the tractor has more maneuverability than a lead trailer. Half the guys you are towing probably can't back up a single 53' with the truck you are backing up on a wrecker so don't sweat it 😉

[-]

bob696988@reddit

Just remember when backing doubles you have to do the opposite of what you do with one trailer So on the back trailer if you want to go right you have to make the first trailer go left and it gets confusing that’s for sure. Watch a wrecker back your truck and trailer it’s crazy

[-]

Socosoldier82@reddit

Does the dolly having double axles have anything to do with it? I tried with a single axle dolly and had to break my set. No matter what I tried to do the trailers would jack knife and I didn’t want to destroy the air and electric lines.

[-]

chaoss402@reddit

Pretty sure the dolly is locked straight into the front trailer, making this more like a b train.

[-]

LitLFlor@reddit

I was going to say it also looks like the Dolly is locked, making movement more like a b train as well.

I can pretty easily angle dock a trailer and standard dolly. If that dolly is locked, this would be significantly easier. Still tricky, but much much easier.

I've only once saw a CO worker angle dock a true doubles set. Plenty of them could straight line back a set in their desired door.

I can straight line back a set, in the door I want. It takes me forever though, and it's just quicker to break it apart.

Regardless, still impressive.

[-]

chaoss402@reddit

I've never pulled doubles, but I've seen guys back b doubles before. In principle it doesn't seem overly difficult, although it would definitely take some getting used to figuring out how far in advance to make each move.

[-]

Boattailfmj@reddit

I've backed super b's occasionally and you just have to forget about the tractor and visualize the lead as your tractor. That's what works for me anyway. When the rear trailer starts going somewhere you don't want it to you have to correct pretty early or you will need to pull forward because it gets to far gone quick as you are limited by the lead trailers maneuverability

[-]

JColeTheWheelMan@reddit

If it's double pintle hitches which I suspect it is, then it would be called a C train.

[-]

SycoJack@reddit

Yeah, it doesn't look like the dolly has any range of motion. What no one seems to understand is that the hard part of backing doubles is the goddamn dolly. If you can lock that dolly so it stays, it becomes infinitely easier. Not easy, just easier.

Backing with a dolly is just shy of impossible because it's going to jack knife and it moves super fucking fast.

[-]

Ich_mag_Kartoffeln@reddit

Yep, steering the dolly with a trailer that's much longer than the dolly is the tricky part. Very easy to lose it.

Not my video, but it is possible.

[-]

JOliverScott@reddit

That's what I was trying to discern.

[-]

JColeTheWheelMan@reddit

I used to do this all the time, but with tankers and bottles so I couldn't see the other side for clearance. I'd usually jump out and check. I didn't always get it right the first time though.

If anyone has been to Seaspan in Vancouver; The yard guys back loaded super B's all the way down the dock onto a barge to be taken over to the Island.

[-]

Boattailfmj@reddit

It looks like an A train where the dolly is locked. If it was just a converter dolly on a single pintle I'd be more impressed. That's just like a longer Super B which aren't horrible once you get some practice. I used to kinda internally gloat a bit backing a tractor and a 53' into a hole on the back of a 40' wrecker with the two drivers in my cab who probably can't back up the truck I have on the hook lol

[-]

richyforeign@reddit

Respect.

[-]

tinkdatank@reddit

I'm impressed at the speed, but we all know it's easier doing this with longer trailers like this than the 28' pups that I haul. If I had time to commit to honing my skills in this with pups I would but UPS doesn't allow that lol. I do try to back my lead and my dolly up under my rear from time to time if the situation calls for it.

[-]

Ornery_Ads@reddit

I've backed a B-train a few times, it's not too bad.
Backing an A-traij though...not even going to try

[-]

abc_yxz@reddit

Would you mind clarifying the difference for the uninitiated?

[-]

Ornery_Ads@reddit

What the other person said is 100% accurate, but maybe not intuitive.
On a B-train, the frame of the lead trailer is extended beyond the cargo area, and there is a fifth wheel on it, the second trailer connects to that fifth wheel. The end result is a truck-tractor pulling a semitrailer, that is in turn pulling a semitrailer.
On an A-train, at the end of the lead trailer there is a connection (usually a pintle hitch) which pulls a converter dolly. Connected to that converter dolly is a semitrailer. The end result is a truck-tractor pulling a semitrailer, that is in turn pulling a full trailer.

[-]

Ich_mag_Kartoffeln@reddit

A b-double or b-train (depends where you're from) has a turntable mounted on back of the front trailer, which the rear trailer hooks on to. A b-double has two points of articulation (turntable on the prime mover, turntable on the front trailer).

An a-double/a-train/road train (depends where you're from) has a converter dolly (a trailer with 1-3 axles, a drawbar, and a turntable on top) connected to the front trailer, which the rear trailer hooks on to. An a-double has three points of articulation (turntable on the prime mover, the coupling that attaches the dolly drawbar to the front trailer, and the turntable on the dolly).

The wikipedia article shows some different combinations reasonably clearly.

tidyshark12@reddit

I respect people who can do this.

However, for myself, I see no point in even trying to learn how.

Jumping in/out of the truck to hook a set is the only exercise i get. Why would I deny myself that, waste all the time it saves while learning how to do it, and, ultimately, perform a much riskier back and possibly damage something and end up losing my job?

Pointless.

It takes extra few mins, at best, to just drop it in front of the door and back it in after you've dropped the front trailer.

I have put a double pickup with the uhaul dolly into a spot. Two pull-ups and I was done. Took all of 5 minutes, but my dad drilled skills into my head in my teens that most people in their 30's and 40's at the time wished they knew! I also doubled a car trailer, with a boat behind it and had to back the boat around a couple trees to set it down... and I had a lawnmower trailer with a lawnmower on it that had a boat trailer hooked to the lawn mower I had to back up under the crane at the scrap yard too!

There's no way. I did doubles for months and any attempt at backing up would result in a double, opposite direction jackknife.

That's because of the dolly. The dolly on this set isn't pivoting.

I was Yard Dog driver and it was my job to set up doubles and triples for the routes. I’d hook pup trailers together. Backing them up was tough. I could back them up but it wasn’t fun and I wasn’t anywhere close to this level of good.

I’ve done it once just to say I did it. It’s honestly faster to just break the set.

I could barely do that with my single 45' trailer. Good job driver!

I’d like to think I could figure it out, but with having never done it, I’m not gonna be arrogant enough to proudly proclaim I could do it, easily as a matter of fact!

Iv done some pretty crazy stuff with double but they were B-trains attached by a fifth wheel, so just one extra pivot point.

This looks like A-trains which is 2 extra pivot points, this is some next level shit. I haven't read the comments yet but anyone who says they can do this is full of shit. I could probably do it if you gave me a few hours hahahah

I ran double dump for 5 months, I went the wrong way on a job site and the foreman was like, "Can you back it up?" I told him I already tried that and I'm either going forward or parking it here haha. Had to have them open a locked gate and drive through soft dirt praying I didn't get stuck lol. Started asking questions after that one lmao.

One coworker had to get dragged backwards by a grader when he missed the ramp lol. He couldn't back it out either and just made it worse. Everyone on the radio was booing him and telling him how much he sucked hahaha. Loved that job.

A literal nightmare I’ve had a few times.

I'm just glad when I can hook my set by hooking the dolly to the lead and backing both to the rear. I've messed around backing a set and gave up after ten minutes

Hazerdesly@reddit

Did you tell him he had a light out?

ndarmr@reddit

Doesn't Mexico also require at least one flashing Amber, light to the rear that flashes at all times?

This is some next level shit hardly anyone at my terminal can back up a set of doubles. One dude claimed he could and we were like okay show us put the back pup in a dock, it was a straight line back the dude spent 40 fucking minutes and he was like done, we like but the back pup is still at an angle to the dock it's not straight the dock plate can't go down. But I did it, but if you drop it like this the yard dog will have to straighten it out anyways and you spent almost an hour doing it. He got all pissed and was like fuck you guys lol.

Another driver and I pull single trailers to a drop lot where a doubles driver brings a turnpike double and we swap. He never wants to break it up and move the dolly separately. It’s funny watching him spend 15 minutes trying to back that tandem dolly up to the new tail when it’s still hook to the lead.
